FAQ's


What is percussion massage?

Percussion massage, also known as percussive therapy, uses rapid, repetitive pulses to penetrate deep into muscle tissue. It’s typically delivered through a massage gun to help relieve soreness, improve circulation, and enhance recovery.

What are the benefits of percussion massage?

Percussion massage can reduce muscle soreness, increase flexibility, improve blood flow, decrease stiffness, and promote faster recovery after workouts. It’s also helpful for warming up muscles before activity.

Is percussion massage safe?

Yes, when used properly, percussion massage is generally safe for most people. It’s non-invasive and often used by physical therapists and athletes. However, avoid using it on broken skin, over bony areas, or if you have certain medical conditions—consult a healthcare provider if unsure.

How often should I use a massage gun?

For general recovery, 5–10 minutes per muscle group, 3–5 times per week is typically effective. Shorter sessions (1–2 minutes) can also be used as part of a warm-up or cooldown.

Does percussion massage help with injuries?

It may help relieve tension and discomfort around injuries but should not be used directly on acute injuries, inflammation, or fractures. Always follow medical advice when recovering from injury.

How is the PlayMakar PRO different from other massage guns?

The PlayMakar PRO features patented ProTips with unique geometries that offer better control and mimic Swedish massage techniques like tapotement. Its GlidePro attachment combines rolling and percussion in one, offering a completely new recovery method: percussion rolling.

Can I use a massage gun on my neck or spine?

Avoid direct use on the spine or front of the neck. Instead, target the muscles around those areas—like traps and upper back—with caution and low intensity.

Do I need to be an athlete to benefit from percussion massage?

Not at all. While athletes use it for performance and recovery, anyone experiencing tightness, stress, or poor circulation can benefit from regular us

What’s the difference between percussion and vibration massage?

Percussion massage uses deeper, targeted pulses to penetrate muscle tissue, while vibration massage provides more surface-level stimulation. Percussion is typically more effective for recovery and muscle release.
